Sydney: Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey ruled out shock comebacks to the Australian Test ranks for the Ashes tour of England after the team's troubled series in India.
With Australia 3-0 down in India and the first of back-to-back Ashes series rapidly approaching, coach Mickey Arthur has indicated he would be open to Hussey returning to the national set-up. But the 37-year-old, who bowed out of Test cricket in January, said while he was flattered to be considered, he had retired from the international game.
"It's extremely flattering," said the 79-Test veteran, who has been in fine form for Western Australia in the domestic Sheffield Shield.
"But I've moved on and I really don't want to be back in that pressure-cooker environment, particularly leading into the Ashes. "It's going to be an extremely stressful time for all the boys. I'm really looking forward to having a winter at home and just having some time with the family and being part of some normal life."
Like Hussey, Ponting has been in sparkling form since quitting international cricket in December after 17 years and 168 Tests and was named the Sheffield Shield player of the year. But the 38-year-old also ruled out a return to the Australian team.
"International cricket's long passed me by," he said in his Sheffield Shield acceptance speech. Hussey suggested T20 captain George Bailey could be a good addition for the Ashes.
"He's done well in the one-day arena for Australia and he knows his game pretty well," Hussey told reporters.
